HTML5 Introduction, What is HTML5

What is HTML5?

HTML5 is a new generation of HTML standards. The previous version of HTML standard 4.01 was released in 1999. Since 1999, the web has changed dramatically.

In fact, HTML5 is still a standard in development. But many mainstream browsers are starting to support HTML5 elements and parts of the API.

How do I use HTML5?

In practice, HTML5 is the product of collaboration and collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (i.e., the world's website) and the Web Hypertet application technology Group (working).

WHATWG is primarily responsible for Web forms and applications, while the website is responsible for XHTML2.0. In 2006, they decided to start working together to develop a new generation of HTML standards.

HTML5 follows some of the following rules: 5 years of well-developed UI front-end framework!

• new features based on Html,css,dom and JavaScript

• reduce dependency on external plug-ins, for example, Flash

• More markup instead of scripts

• HTML5 device independent

• Development process for public disclosure
